Tampa Pollen Report
Tampa's subtropical climate means allergy season never fully stops. Oak and pine coat the bay area in yellow dust each spring, Bahia grass pollinates from spring through fall, ragweed rides in with autumn, and Gulf humidity keeps mold spores in the air essentially year-round. For allergy sufferers, Tampa is less a city with an allergy season than a city with a brief lull in December.

What drives allergies in Tampa
Trees: oak and pine (January – April)
Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is Tampa's biggest tree allergen, with pine, cedar, and bayberry contributing. The season starts early — often by January in warm years.
Grasses: Bahia and Bermuda (March – November)
Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum), the standard Florida lawn and roadside grass, is a major allergen with one of the longest seasons in the country here.
Weeds: ragweed (August – November)
Ragweed pollinates through the fall, overlapping with grass season and post-rainy-season mold.
Mold: a year-round resident
Warm, humid Gulf air keeps Alternaria and Cladosporium active in every month, with peaks after the summer rainy season and tropical storms.
Pollen patterns in Tampa
In Tampa, tree pollen — including Oak, Pine, Cedar — typically dominates from late winter through spring. Bermuda grass is the most common warm-season pollinator, and Ragweed drives the largest fall pollen load.

Frequently asked questions
What is the pollen count in Tampa today?
PollyMap publishes real, microscope-verified pollen counts for Tampa — measured from physical air samples. The latest report on this page shows current tree, grass, weed, and mold levels.
Is the pollen count high in Tampa right now?
Something is almost always pollinating in Tampa: oak in late winter, Bahia grass most of the year, ragweed in fall, mold year-round. The measured reports on this page show today's actual levels.
When is allergy season in Tampa?
Effectively year-round. Oak and pine peak January–April, grasses run March–November, ragweed runs August–November, and mold never fully stops.
Why does Tampa feel worse after rain?
Rain feeds mold growth and bursts existing spores into the air, and Tampa's rainy season runs June through September — right in the middle of grass season.
Is pollen still bad in Tampa in the fall?
Yes. Ragweed peaks around Tampa in October, grass pollen can linger in the warm fall, and humidity keeps mold spores active year-round. With no frost to end the season, Tampa's allergy season runs nearly year-round.
